Morucci's Deli: The Italian sub, a.k.a. No. 1 - a fresh ciabatta roll stuffed with salami, mortadella, hot coppa, provolone, pepperoncini and a generous schmear of garlicky pesto ($6.75) - is reason enough to visit to this popular deli. Other top picks include the No. 2, a chicken Caesar salad in sandwich form ($6.75); and the No. 00 - oven-roasted turkey with your choice of bread and toppings ($6.99).
